Saurashtra Cricket Stadium is all set to witness the 4th T-20 faceoff between India and South Africa. South Africa is leading the series with a score of 2-1 but the hopes for Indian fans are still alive with a win and two matches remaining.
Rishabh Pant will lead the Indian Squad as the Captain, whereas the South African squad will be led by Temba Bavuma. Quinton-De-Kock’s possibility to return to the play is quite high as he was seen practicing in the nets on Thursday. Indian Squad will follow the same pattern as they were playing before.
Squads:
India: Rishabh Pant (Captain & WK), Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Dinesh Karthik, Axar Patel, Harshal Patel, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan, Deepak Hooda, Venkatesh Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Ravi Bishnoi, Umran Malik.
South Africa: Temba Bavuma (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Reeza Hendricks, Dwaine Pretorius, Rassie van der Dussen, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Kagiso Rabada, Keshav Maharaj, Anrich Nortje, Tabraiz Shamsi, Quinton de Kock, Lungi Ngidi, Marco Jansen, Tristan Stubbs.
Pitch and Weather Conditions: Rajkot’s pitch is full of runs and has previously witnessed several nail-biting faceoffs. Weather conditions for Friday’s match might be favorable for the game as there is less humidity as compared to other parts of the country.
